Get lost in a Jurassic-type world during this guided kayaking tour from Waimangu Valley. Paddle out onto Lake Rotomahana and be entranced by steaming cliffs, colourful landscapes and Mount Tarawera dominating the backdrop. If you arrive early, you can embark on a walk through the volcanic valley.
Meeting at Waimangu Volcanic Valley, you will travel down to the edge of Lake Rotomahana and be run through a safety and instructional briefing, before striking out into the serene waterways. It won't be long until you feel like you're in another world where steaming cliffs and colourful landscapes abound. Your guide will provide you with all necessary equipment, then run through safety and basic kayak instructions before you take the helm on the water. From here you will kayak a short distance before being captivated by a spectacular geothermal display of steaming cliffs and colourful landscapes. From your kayak, you will have a unique vantage point and perspective of the raw beauty and power these geysers create. Your guide will share the story of the valley along with insight to Maori culture and heritage of the area. This is an activity you will never forget!

Not only do we handpick the best experiences for you, we also guarantee you’ll pay the same as you would buying direct from the experience provider. If you find the same experience advertised at a lower standard price on the same day by the same provider, simply take a screenshot of the experience advertised at the lower price and tell us within 30 days of your purchase and we’ll match it.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in.

We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
